Bear Killed Unnecessarily

The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection made good on its promise to kill the black bear with the sentient nerve to respond to welcoming gestures from a human woods walker [Sept. 3, Page 1, "'Bold' Bear Killed"].

In the video of the bear that was recorded by the woman in the incident, the bear's mouth appeared ajar as it sniffed her leg. Horror, everyone knows that fur-covered bears on a 90-degree day always keep their mouths shut. Just ask your pet dog for confirmation.

Another bear killed by DEEP officers will also join this miscreant in bear hell for not fleeing in terror at the presence of humans stalking their woodland home. Because all animal slaughter, besides pleasure killing (hunting and fishing) is justified in the fabrication of human safety and avoiding lawsuits, we should make it a law that all persons entering woodlands possess a loud horn, else any damage or emotional fright from wildlife is waived. Ah, well, maybe not; think of the poverty that would inflict on the Connecticut "business of law industry," otherwise known as the Judicial Branch of government.
